In 2025, we continued to strengthen corporate volunteering in Colombia. It has been a year of trust, of validating what has been built over previous years, and of committing to the future of our programs, people, and partner organizations.
Delivering value to our clients has been especially meaningful, allowing us to look ahead with optimism and strong conviction in what we do, despite the socio-political challenges that the near future may bring.
In the first half of the year, we welcomed Juan Ángel, with whom we had the opportunity to share our experience in impact measurement exercises, an area that has historically been a pending challenge for many organizations. In addition to visiting Bogotá and Medellín to advance our measurement work, we also created spaces for conversation and learning, such as recording a masterclass with our partner Comfama on volunteering and its impact on leadership in conscious companies.
We also highlight the commitment and determination of EDEQ (Empresa de Energía del Quindío) to develop its Volunteering Program, and for allowing us to support them in this major milestone from the very beginning, leading the design of their program strategy.
Impactamos from Bancolombia: Financial education for development
What would our lives be like if we had learned about financial education from school? This is one of the premises that has enabled us to generate new corporate volunteering initiatives in Colombia, promoting financial inclusion and strengthening the productive ecosystem as core pillars of Bancolombia and its volunteering strategy.
Expanding the program’s capacity, activity portfolio, and number of participating volunteers has been a major challenge, one that has been progressively built alongside our partners. This year, we also launched a training initiative for partner organizations, through which we aim to reach more organizations in the future, enriching the initiatives carried out by the Bank’s volunteer group with greater diversity, knowledge, and experience.

Punto de Voluntariado Colombia
Y por primera vez, y de la mano de Voluntare, creamos el punto de voluntariado corporativo en Colombia, con empresas y organizaciones sociales en el marco del Social Fest, acercando las ONG a un relacionamiento diferentes con las empresas y retándoles a crear un pitch “socio/comercial” que venda sus proyectos para la participación de empleados de las empresas asistentes.
We celebrated a second year of Volies Colombia, full of high-impact social and environmental collaborations across the country, built together with committed companies and organizations. We continue to strengthen a network that connects purpose, territory, and action. Here’s to the third year.
